NEW HOPE, PA New Hope Borough has been awarded a $1.75 million grant to build a new parking garage.
The grant comes from Pennsylvania s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program.
A lack of adequate parking in New Hope, a tourism, dining, shopping and entertainment hub in Bucks County, has been an issue for nearly 50 years, said borough council President Connie Gering.
Subscribe This garage will be a welcome addition to the borough and will allow for easier access and less congestion as people will no longer be forced to circle the town to find parking, Gering said in a written statement. The increased ease of finding a parking spot will benefit all businesses and nonprofits, making it better for residents and tourists alike to take advantage of all our town has to offer.
